The Patches Game puzzle for November 7, 2026 is a 7 × 7 hard board split into 8 patches, from 2 to 12 cells; the largest is 6 × 2.
Its clues: 4 Wide and 4 Freeform. 4 show a number (Freeform 7, Freeform 6, Freeform 4 and Freeform 4); the other 4 show only a shape (4 Wide), so you work out those sizes from the grid.
Area budget: the numbered patches cover 21 of the 49 cells, which leaves 28 for the 4 shape-only clues.
Starting hint: the numbered Freeform clue toward the left edge has only one possible rectangle, a 1 × 7 patch, so place it first.
